Bruno Genesio’s future in Lille hangs by a thread. After spending time at Lyon and Rennes before taking over the reins of LOSC, the coach could take charge of Marseille this summer. At the end of his contract with Lille next June, he was however warned about the particularity of the position on the Canebière side.
Formerly of the OM house, Christophe Dugarry spoke this Tuesday on the possibility of seeing Bruno Genesio succeed Habib Beye. The RMC consultant seriously warned him. “Everywhere he coached, he was successful. Let him have the chance to coach Olympique de Marseille, why not. Afterwards, it’s going to be an adventure, he has to prepare himself. Everything he’s been through is going to be ten times worse. »
And the 1998 world champion with the Blues knows what he’s talking about, he who went through all the stages and all the emotions when he wore the sky and white jersey. “You are going into something unimaginable and sometimes unreal. (…) I have a little doubt, namely: does he want to transform his life, and perhaps transform himself a little too? Because you never come out of a Marseille adventure unscathed. »

Then Christophe Dugarry continued on the same theme.
“It’s extremely complicated and difficult to be yourself all the time. (…) I think we are never ready to experience that, I experienced it for two years. I expected things, sometimes I experienced even worse things, in both directions. Because the first year it was exceptional, the second year it was catastrophic. »
The next few days and weeks will undoubtedly provide some additional answers on whether or not Bruno Genesio really wants to go and live this famous Marseille experience.
